We’ve selected the material that offers the best balance of performance and comfort for your vehicle’s needs.
Our Comfort grade bushes are designed to enhance ride quality and minimise road noise, making them ideal for everyday driving. They are softer, providing maximum suspension articulation and a cushioned feel that absorbs bumps and vibrations effectively. This softer composition ensures a smoother, quieter driving experience, especially in Classic cars or Land Rovers. Comfort bushes maintain a balance between originality and ease of driving, catering to those who value a relaxed Factory-Fresh drive.
The Dynamic grade bushes offer a middle ground between Comfort and Performance. They are slightly firmer than the Comfort bushes, which improves handling and cornering response without sacrificing too much ride comfort. These bushes are ideal for drivers who enjoy a more engaging driving experience while still needing a level of comfort for daily use, whilst also being suitable for spirited driving & light track use.
Performance grade bushes are the stiffest of the three, designed for enthusiasts who demand the utmost in handling and control. They offer minimal deflection, enhancing vehicle response and stability during aggressive driving. These bushes are perfect for high-performance or track vehicles where precision and handling are critical. While they might sacrifice some ride comfort, they deliver superior driving dynamics and control, ideal for those who push their vehicle to its limits – Including Towing!
These rods are produced in 90 Shore A which allows them to be machined on a lathe.

Specifications
Subaru Forester bushes for the SJ, built from 2013 to 2018, cover a simpler car than the SH it replaced. Subaru dropped the separate rear subframe mount and diff mount bushes for this generation, which shortens the list considerably and makes it a far quicker job on the ramp.
What remains is the part that actually governs how the car behaves. The rear track arm inner and outer bushes and the toe arm inner bush set how much toe the rear gains as the body rolls, and the trailing arm hub end bush resists fore and aft movement under braking. On a tall estate that is frequently loaded, those three points soften long before anything makes a noise, and the first real symptom is usually tyre wear on the inner edges that survives a fresh alignment. At the front, the wishbone front and rear bushes carry steering and braking load.
Polyurethane holds the geometry without spoiling the ride, and unlike the original rubber it does not swell when it meets oil or road salt. On a car still in daily use that matters more than outright stiffness. Compare the Forester SH, the XV of the same period, or the Subaru range.
